You know you're "addicted" to tea when ....

When you are restricted on caffeine intake so you scour the net to find what teas fall within your doctor’s orders on allowable amounts, in desperation for something other than water to drink and then go on a shopping spree you can’t really afford to get a bunch.

The ongoing High Park Fire in Colorado is behind my Condo Complex.
My daughter and I discussed what to do should I have to evacuate when the fire was 2 miles from me.
She told me later that she knew I would save my laptop, family photos and all my tea! (so sad…what a reputation!)

When you drop & crack the bottom off your travel mug, almost cry because you did & on this morning it housed your favourite iced tea. And you head directly to buy a new one even if it means you might be late for work.

Uh you start advising the people buying bagged tea in the tea isle of the grocery store…and try to get them to buy loose leaf tea…and sometimes they look like a deer in the headlights. (Other times they want to follow you…but maybe that doesn’t mean on Steepster :(

I do this too—no matter how much tea I have, there’s always something I want, usually just out of curiosity. Both the bf and my dad give me this “oh god, please don’t peruse the tea aisle” look when we go grocery shopping XD

Hahaha Careful Bonnie! I know the deer in headlights look very well. I have a lot of friends who don’t understand my tea love, and whenever they ask about why I have so much tea (as they think it’s all the same)… my response to them is immediately accompanied by their glazed over expression.
I’m the same Alphakitty! I wish there was just samples of every tea in the world so I could stop being so curious and just try them all already!
